"A masala is simply a mixture of ground #spices. Each state in India has its own blend, and there are countless variations of each. Sambhar masala — a blend of curry leaves, chiles, yellow split peas, fenugreek, cinnamon, coriander, cumin and poppy and mustard seeds — is one of thousands of versions of a spice mix from southern #India.
